The number of reasons why projects fail is almost endless. Even with the best of intentions and carefully crafted plans, projects can head south if they are not managed properly. Applying the world-renowned PRINCE2® methodology on your projects can go a long way in ensuring project success.

The table below sets out how PRINCE2® counters some of the most common reasons for project failure.

REASON FOR FAILURE

PRINCE2® COUNTER

Poorly managed

Poorly defined roles and responsibilities

Project Management Structure for project created in pre-project Start Up process.

Clear role descriptions for each person in the Project Management team setting out their responsibilities, goals, limits of authority, relationships & reporting lines

Lack of a solid project plan

Project Plan for project as a whole created during Initiation Stage, reviewed & updated by Project Manager at the end of each management stage.

Communication Strategy with proper Stakeholder Engagement Plan compiled during Initiation Stage, revised at the end of every management stage

Overruns of schedule and cost

Business Case compiled to ensure business justification for project during Initiation Stage based on Project Plan, reviewed at each management stage boundary; plans done for each stage of the project; project tolerances set for time and cost

Scope creep

Undefined objectives and goals

Project Brief created pre-project in Start Up process; expanded into detailed Project Initiation Document during Initiation Stage to clarify scope

Compliments to the new year. I hope you entered well and looking forward to the opportunities presented in 2017.

I would like to express my utmost appreciation for the why the ANTS institution handled my concern regarding my examination mentioned below. The opportunity to go re-write enabled me to pass my exam and be qualified as a PRINCE2 Project Manager. I can’t express my gratitude enough and as a token of my appreciation, I have recommended a few interested people to the institution.

Kind regards
